  •  Book orders are due on Tuesday.

  • Please be sure to be reading 20 minutes each evening.  
  • We are into our "Art Is..." book club and the students are working well together and having rich discussions about art.
  • Grade 5's have started our measurement unit.  It is still very important for them to be practicing not only their multiplication facts, but their division facts as well.

Last Week Before March Break!

  • I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
  • I wanted to say a huge thank you to all of the parents who came in for parent teacher interviews.  I absolutely loved having the opportunity to share what wonderful children you have.  Thank you for all of your work at home! 
  • This week I would ask the students to continue reading their 20 min. each night and if possible, ask your child to talk to you about our new read aloud called Wonder.  They are loving every word of it and it has a wonderful message of empathy.
  • Gr. 5 math will be having their fractions and decimals test on Thursday of this week.
  • I hope everyone has a well deserved and safe March break!
